Conquer Kilimanjaro

One of the most epic things you can do in Tanzania is to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, on a 6-day long trekking trip of a lifetime through some of the most beautiful parts of the country. There are several routes you can take to get to the top of Kilimanjaro but you should go with the 6 or 7 days Machame Route which is considered to be one of the prettiest routes to take and one that has a more reasonable acclimatization profile.

The Machame Route begins at Machame Gate, 1,743 m above sea level and you will gradually gain altitude as you continue on with a few acclimatization days at 3,000 - 4,000 meters before you go for the summit. With such an acclimatization profile, your percentage of success will be a lot higher than going on a shorter route like Marangu Route. If you are into adventures and are looking to challenge yourself while being surrounded by stunning scenery, climbing Kilimanjaro is one of the best things you can do in Tanzania.
